Colorbar Nude Pink 007 Lip Pencil Review-


Hallo Pretty Girls,

Today’s post is a ladies’ exclusive (unless boys are looking for something to gift). Yesterday I told you that I purchased two items from Colorbar. One is a lipliner and the other item is a primer. Before I review the lipliner, I’d like to inform you that Colorbar has come up with very pretty crayons for your luscious lips. They are quite cheap and highly pigmented. Shades available are so pretty that I was confused but will get at least one soon. I was in a hurry or I’d have taken pics and showed you the swatches.

Now, I bought 2 things and got an eyeliner free!!! It was a gift so I just took it and said ‘Thanks’. But at home I found out that the liner was already past its use-by dateL. I didn’t expect that. Let’s get started with the review-

Price- INR 399

Shelf-life- 2.5 years

Packaging- The lipliner is a metallic grey twist-pencil. The colour name and number is printed in black. The lower end of the pencil has the same colour as the shade so it’s easy to locate the desired shade. The packaging is good and tight cap makes it travel friendly as well.

Shade, Pigmentation & Texture- The shade is a lovely pink-brown. It looks browner on my lips when compared to the hand swatch where it looks more on the pinkish side. The pigmentation is good but the pencil tugs on lips (lipbalm needed).

What I think of Colorbar Nude Pink 007 Lip Pencil-

I almost always use a nude lipliner before applying lipsticks. This liner is perfect for the purpose. It makes my lipcolors last longer.

Though it doesn’t settle much in fine lines, it does accentuate them even after exfoliation. So if you want to wear this lovely nude all by itself. You are going to need a transparent gloss.

The shade does not transfer and is very light on lips. It lasts forever and you need a makeup remover to remove it completely.

I like this lip pencil a lot. The shade number 007 is also interesting especially for Bond….James Bond fans.

The Positives-

·         A pretty nude pink-brown

·         Not transferable

·         Lightweight

·         Good packaging

·         Long shelf-life

·         Will suit a variety of skin tones

·         Long lasting

·         Boosts the staying-power of lipsticks

·         Good pigmentation

The Negatives-

·         Little pricey

·         Accentuates fine lines

·         Does not glide smoothly on lips

·         Drying

Summing it up- This one is a nice option for that perfect nude base for your lipsticks. I would repurchase it.

Rating- 4.5/5
